very suggestive one :
Each County Superintendent ought to be

The educational interests are our greatest

almost begged for communications

The Third Educational District for
the State, will hold meeting at
Owensboro the 10Th and 18th of this
month, program of which was pub
lished in our last issue. Will the teach
ers of this District attend? Will they
show by their own actions that they
are interested in the progress of our
educational interests as they are in
the development Of our mineral and
landed interests? This meeting can
be interesting and successful as it is
made so by its MEMBERS. Sufficient
publicity has been given, now it re.
mains to be seen who will attend.

RELIEF.
The Franklin Edrorite says:

The Franklin Fdrorite says:
AT the bottom of the great pyramid OF
state Is the farmer. Upon his shoulder rests
the whole social fabric. His occupation, If IL
is possible for one legitimate occupation to be
more honorable than another, is the highest
OF all. All other occupations begin where he
leaves OF. lie is the great producer and up
on him depends the commerce of the world.
Since his importance in society is so great, 1t
is for his happiness and prosperity that the
greatest concern should be manifested by the
law makers of the country. He, of all men,
should be soonest relieved of oppressive bur-
dens."
The oppressive burden borne by
these great producers to-day. is borne
by them almost unconsciously.
Everything he uses, is made the in
strument of his own torture, and yet
so accustomed is he to it, that he
scarcely realizes the evils or the un-
business of it. The axe with which
he clears away the forest trees, the
pillow used in tilling the soil, the ma
chine with which he harvests the
grain, the wagon upon which he con-
veys it to market, all in their turn
are made to increase the burdens
and decrease the profits of these great
breadwinners. The tariff taxation
upon everything used by the farmer,
makes it cost him from ten to one
hundred per cent. more than it
would if the tax was removed and
that tax too, kept high only to
protect lot of infant industries
from fifty to one hundred years old.
taxation of any kind is
greater than the just needs of the
government economically administer
ed it becomes not only injurious to
the people, but dangerous to the
government since it tends toward ex.
travagance in conducting the depart
ments of government. Congress is
in session, and it now rests with our
representatives there, whether we
shall have relief from the heavy bur.
dens of a war tax or the surplus d.

NATIONAL SOLONS.

Congress convened Monday, but
the Presidents message was not pre-
scented to that body till yesterday.
1t is thought it will be short and to
the point, dealing principally with
the tariff, and demanding in no I'M
mistakable terms the reduction of
useless taxation. Kentucky's talent
ed son, John G.. Carlisle, was elected
Speaker of the House for the third
time. The other officers for the
House were as follows: Clerk, Jno.
b. Clark, of Missouri; Sergeantat-
arms, Jno. 7. Leedom, of Ohio /;
Doorkeeper, \. b. Hurt, of Missis,
sippi; Postmaster, Lycurgus Dalton,
of Indiana; Chaplain, w. ii. Mil
burn. The contest between Hurt
and Donaldson, the former Door
keeper, was close and animated. Sem
ator Beck was elected Chairman of
the Senate Democratic caucus.
1t is thought that the Republican
Senators will object to Faulkner
being seated, in which event lively
times may be expected. Unless pre-
vented by obstructionists, the work
done by this Congress will be of I'M
told benefit to the great masses of
the people.

TANGLED LIVES"

We have received through the
courtesy of Prof. w. B. Hayward, a
copy Of Tangled Lives" by "The.
ron" The fact that this romance is
published by the Oglevies, is guar
antee of its worth and rank in mod,
ern fiction. 1t was with pleasure we
followed the "tangles" in the lives of
the characters represented. to II hap
Ply termination. This story told in
fiction is unlike the sentimentalism
so prevalent in our novels of today,
but throughout the entire story may
be seen II beautiful underlined of
philosophy that stamps it with du,
rability and gives it permanent
place in our literature.
In the character of the heroine,
Edwina Staunton,w we imagine we see
the independence and marked origi-
nality Of the author. The book is
now being prepared in a neat cloth
bound volume, which will soon be
issued. This beautiful story is also
being dramatized, and will soon be
one of the attractions of the stage.

A CRYING NECESSITY.

If the people of Ohio county do
not look after their own welfare, it
is needless to look elsewhere for help.
Other counties in the State are or.
ganizing Commercial Clubs, Business
Mems Associations, Development AS
sociations, for the purpose of aiding
in the development of their dor
mant resources, and Ohio county
is not above the needs of such
an organization. We have thous-
ands of acres of uncultivated lands,
untold mineral resources, and vast
area of valuable timber Greater
fortunes lie buried under the surfa ce
of our county than are found in over
drawn reports Of the Great West.
If less time were spent in thinking
about what we might obtain by go
ing West, and more activity and en-
ergy manifested in developing the
many and varied resources about us,
we would be more prosperous and
contented people.
Ohio county should organize De-
velopment Association and prepare
to make herself heard beyond the
confines of her own boundary; and
especially should she endeavor to be
well represented III the State Indus
trial Exhibition at Louisville next

ECONOMY.

The trustees Of Hartford College
did a good thing for the town, even
if considered only from a financial
standpoint, when they secured DIR.
Alexander as president of the school
for period of five years, at a cost to
the town of only $1,000 per year. 1t
may be that some have never taken
time to consider really how little it
does cost the citizens of Hartford to
have the school conducted on the
present plan. The town pays $1,000
per year, and gets the benefit of the
public money, which is about s400;
this reduces the $1,000 to $1,000.
The number of pupils who have the
privilege of attending school free, is
about equal to three average COM
mon school districts. This would
then be an average of $500 to the
district, and we cannot now call to

THE SENATORSHIP.

Senator Sam f.. Hill has resigned,
and the Governor has ordered an
election for Thursday, December 22d,
to elect his successor. Senator Hills
resignation has caused very little IA
vorable comment by his best friends,
not only in Ohio county, but in
other parts of the District. How.
ever, it was a matter of his own per-
sonal preference, as it could have in
jured neither himself nor the party
had he not resigned. Any man of
intelligence knows that a man can
not be injured by doing his duty ac,
cording to law. But Senator Hill
resigned, which he had the right to
do, and we are on the eve of an cleo
ton that will cost the State three or
four times as much as the salary the
Senator will draw for the unexpired
time.
The Republicans have called a
convention to meet at Central City
next Saturday, where they will no
doubt nominate that venerable Re-
publican war-horse, the Hon. Lewis
Jones or Ex-senator David Poole, of
Rochester. VIM. Milligan, II. G. Tru-
man, Woodbury. Tinsley and James
Rowe, of this county, and JudgeW. ;.
Taylor, Of Butler county, are prom-
inently mentioned as suitable candi.
dates.
The Democratic District Commit.
tee has called mass convention to
meet at Beaver Dam, Saturday, Dec.
10. 1t is not known who will be the
candidate, but several prominent
men have been suggested, among
whom we might mention: Col. :. p.
Love, Col. w. II. Yost and
Charles Wicklifie, of Muhlenberg,
Mr.. w. l. Helm, of Butler,
Messrs. Hamilton Resinger, j.
Edwin Rowe and Hiram Maddox, of
this county, all !ood Democrats.
There will be no trouble in the con-
vention about selecting a nominee,
as the Democrats will willingly unite
on a man who they think can carry
the District.
We are not blind to the fact that
this District went heavily Republican
last August, and that the chances
are greatly in favor Of the Republic,
ans, but we are willing to give them
hard, fair and honest fight, al
though the time is short, and by
united effort on the part Of the Dem
ocrats, Senator Hills successor need
not be II Republican. Let the Dem
ocracy organize at once, work till

TOO FAR FROM MARKET.
The Owensboro MESSENGER saws:


"WIthin the past ten days as many as
twenty farmers from Ohio county have pre-
scented themselves at the real estate agen cies
in the city for the purpose of renting or pur-
chasing farms. The supply of farms for rent
has already given out, and few applicants
can stand the prices asked for lands. The
people in question are good men, who have
grown tired of hauling their produce forty
miles to market, but which they are now
forced to do. They will make good citizens"
This is a good argument in favor
Of the Pellville and Hartford rail.
road. With that road built, and the
Owensboro and Falls Of Rough road
crossing the county at another angle,
our people could even 20 TO mill by
rail.
